After Divorce Billionaire Ex Found Me Pregnant

"If you don't mind me asking how exactly do you two low each other?" Alistair asked as they each sank into their respective seats.

"We had a brief meeting earlier today," Leonica vaguely explained, eyes still trained on Owen. "Dotside of the boutique."

"Oh," The agent smiled. Is that so? Well, that makes things even better. Business goes smoothly when communication is made ahead of time." Own Lee

"I couldn't agree more." Leonica finally turned her attention away from Owen and instead, towards his agent.

The negotiating time was rather short, but efficient, thanks to Alistair, and they were able to reach an agreement in a matter of minutes.

"Thank you very much for choosing us." Leonica said, extending her hand to the agent, who returned her gesture.

"No, the pleasure is all ours." He grinned, stepping out of his seat and turning towards his artist. "Owen-"

"Just a second," The blonde held his index finger out to his agent and rose to his feet, eyes trained especially on Leonica as he walked up to her. He was silent for a while, eyes searching hers before he spoke. "You don't... remember me anymore, do you?" Leonica furrowed her brows, confusion evident in her expression. "I'm sorry, what? Am I meant to know you?" She questioned.

And only after she had asked that, did a certain realization hit her.

Disregarding their earlier encounter, she could have sworn that she'd heard Owen's voice somewhere else. Not just his voice, but his accent and way of speaking, it all sounded extremely familiar to her.

But just where had she heard him?

"The young master fell asleep right after his bath." Grace informed as she descended the last flight of stairs and picked up the dusting reg she had dropped off before going upstairs, about to resume her duties. When she noticed Leonica's unwavering stare on her, she asked. "Should I have stopped him? Perhaps I should have kept him awake so he could sleep better at night?"

"Uh, no. Not at all. It's just," There was a pause in her sentence in which Leonica chuckled to herself. "It's not every day you see Ash fall asleep right after a bath."
